Is Obama a Socialist?

Barack Obama repudiates the socialistic paradigm. Without a doubt, he espouses free enterprise and its corollaries. In spite of this fervent conviction, he has a few glaring peccadilloes: he is compassionate, humane and pragmatic. He has the audacity to believe that everyone should have access to affordable healthcare.

Moreover, this facile and eloquent orator is the proponent of quality education for every American child because he realizes that education is the key that opens the metaphorical doors of opportunity. He also has the nerve to criticize the American public school system, which is based on a socialistic model.

This prepossessing leader of the free world is flummoxed because the American public school system is floundering: our students are not exemplary in math and science. How could this be? America is the greatest nation in the world. How could we be failing to educate an entire generation of children simply because their parents are less than rich? He is incredulous!

And then, BOOM! He had an epiphany: affluent people send their children to private schools, and, consequently, their children can confidently stroll through the doors of opportunity unimpeded. Because America’s greatest resource is its citizen, it is not only humane but also reasonable to give all American children the opportunity to fulfill their potential and thereby make America an even greater nation.

Obama's belief that all American children should have an equal opportunity to education does not make him a socialist. This just makes him a prodigiously intelligent, compassionate and valiant human being.
